Cyber Zoo


Stay afloat

Staying in my room surrounded by this cyber zoo

talking to people online but they are laughing and pointing at you.

Affected, tears ready to burst like a dam

Your body broken, drowning in emotion, searching for stable land

A circle of white rapids knocking you down pulling you back in

Floating in this body, but getting hit again

language battering you around, someone thinking it is funny being the class clown

Only wishing you had a life jacket on so you would not drown

A life raft up above, lies of a safe haven, this boat, filled with people who dont care

This emotional battle something you must prepare, to face the cyber zoo of despair.
